Yes that is right.....this is the facial hair thread!!

I have been in a quandry over the years as I love to grow in a nice goatee or a thin beard...but the girlfriend, no matter which one has always hated it and nagged the hell out of me until I shaved!

So the question is what do you guys think...you like it like I do? Your women nag you? Have you found a way to make them accept it or at least stop with the whining about it? You got anything good growing now? If so put a pic up...I will try to get my cam working and throw a pic up of my newest project.

For you women out there on CP....why oh why do you make us shave? And dont give the "it tickles me when I kiss you" excuse!

I've had my 1/2 goatee since 2000. Got married in 2003 and shaved it off a month before the wedding because I thought it would look nicer for our wedding pics.

MY FIANCE (now wife) MADE ME GROW IT BACK BEFORE THE WEDDING.

She says I looked weird without it. The longer you have it, the more it becomes a part of who you are. I couldn't imagine shaving it off now. Plus, makes the morning shaves nice and quick.

not to sound negative, but what exactly is the point of keeping your facial hair? To show you're a man? I can grow a mean full beard, but choose not too...I've got Domibrows, and the two just don't work well with one another.

I guess for the same reason alot of us keep the hair on our heads.....some guys just think they look better. Personally I have all throughout my life had a babyface but a thick beard, so i always thought growing it in made me look older(back when that was a good thing...lol)...and now I am just used to always having some facial hair growing and think I look alot better with it.

Thats very true now that i think about it....not the pudgy ones though...the big FAT ones always have a little goatee!

Do you find it itches though? If I get lazy and don't shave for a week, I find my face itches all the time (and yes, I have a shower everyday). That I find annoying.

The itch goes away, just tough it out.

When I was younger it did alot. As I got older it does less and less....now it will itch for about 4 days between the 6th day and the 11th day...but after that she is feeling good.

We're having a facial hair growing contest in the office (yee haw), I'm about a week and a half without shaving and it itches horribly. Just letting it grow out for now, haven't decided what I'll do with it. I've never let it grow like this before, ever.

My wife hates it! But I convinced her that it's for morale at work

Maserati · 01-31-2007, 09:44 PM

had a goatee ever since ended up shaving it for work and jus never grew it back..as for sideburns always a pain to make sure they are even etc

Hemi-Cuda · 01-31-2007, 09:46 PM

my facial hair comes in about as well as Jarome Iginla's, so i'm basically forced to shave if i don't want to look like a bum. one good thing about it is that since it grows really slow i can get away with only shaving once or twice a week

Wookie · 01-31-2007, 09:46 PM

I hate shaving, I like the scruffy look

Also I don't really need to shave every day.

So, 2 days for me is a hairy guys 5'shadow.

I either shave every 6 days. Or use trimmers to look like I haven't shaved in 2 - 3 days.

Also I'm lazy and I hate shaving.

I'll shave more in the summer though.

Something about shaving in the winter.. Dry skin.. Pale... Razor burn.. Ughh..

Although the itching does annoy me at times

I know girls that hate it because it scratches their face.

One day when I was new to swimming, I had some facial hair, by the end of my workout I had a big scrape on my shoulder and it was so bad it kinda scabbed over. That was from me rubbing my chin into my shoulder every time I took a breath lol..

I bought electric clippers/razor just so I could use the clippers on my face to make it so I didn't have to shave as often, and when I did the clippers would make it less painful.

The electric razor end.. doesn't work, I always have to use a real razor and cream to get a normal shave.

Ohhhh sideburns..I dont even bother anymore. I get so paranoid that they are un-even that I keep trimming them until they truly are un-even and then have to get rid of them.

Inferno · 01-31-2007, 10:02 PM

I've had my goatee for a few years now. I dont have a woman to nag me to shave it off but my mom and sister give me a hard time about it sometimes just like they did when I had long hair a couple years ago but I just ignore them.

Hack&Lube · 01-31-2007, 10:03 PM

I cannot grow one millimeter of facial hair at all. Anywhere. Except for one spot where one single hair comes out of my cheek. Much be a broken gene and a mutant cell.

Guess it saves me trouble and time in my life. Shaving for me accounts to pulling out one tiny hair.

I have the same beard- absolutley none. Good from the shaving once every 2 weeks for a few whiskers haha, but bad from the standpoint of being embarassed in beard growing contests!

socalwingfan · 01-31-2007, 10:18 PM

In 10+ years of marriage, my wife has seen me clean shaven once - on our wedding day. Usually have a goatee - got to 6 inches in length (insert fotzeesque comments here) then got promoted at work, so cut it to regular length. Have had a full beard for about 2 years now - I hate shaving

LGA · 01-31-2007, 10:22 PM

Can't really grow facial hair except for a goatee type thing. It get's off to a pretty nice start but then stalls into oblivion within a week and just stops. Makes me look really scruffy.

rockstar · 01-31-2007, 10:46 PM

Babies' asses are bristly compared to my face.

Redvan, I feel your pain.
